==Channels==
NEVER USE WIKI
===#welcome===
The welcome channel is the main landing/invitation channel which gives a brief description of each channel's purpose and the overall Discord server rules.
===#announcements===
The announcements channel has one sole purpose, that is to send out news and update info for everyone to see. Anything of importance such as events, maintenance schedules and updates will be posted in here and it is the only channel that normal users can apply "reactions" to messages.
 
'''Note:''' ''This channel can only be posted in by the Administrator role and above.''
===#general===
The general channel is where users can talk about anything ''(within reason, sticking to the chatroom rules)'' The only thing not allowed here but is allowed on the chat is discussing trades, that is to be done in ''#trades''
===#trades===
The trades channel is strictly for organising a trade to take place within Pokémon Vortex. Users can post what they have for trade here or leave a message telling others what they are looking for.
===#bot-commands===
The bot-commands channel is used for interacting with the various bots with commands not related to mini-games or their own channel. For example, you can look up a users' in-game profile in this channel by typing '''''!user <username>'''''
===#quiz===
<div style="float:right;">[[File:Wtp_darkrown.png|thumb|Who's that Pokémon?]] [[File:Wtp_itsdarkrown.png|thumb|It's Darkrown!]]</div>
The #quiz channel is where the ''[[Who's That Pokémon|Who's That Pokémon?]]'' game takes place. VortexBot will announce in the ''#general'' channel and here when the game is about to begin.
 
Each round, VortexBot shows a silhouette of a Pokémon. You must be quick and type the name of that Pokémon as fast as you can. The round will end once somebody gets the correct answer. Every correct answer will earn you a raffle ticket for a prize draw at the end of the quiz. The quiz lasts for 10 rounds.
 
Once the quiz is over, a raffle will be held. A random ticket is selected, and the person holding that ticket will win a [[Promo Codes|promo code]] for the [[Cosmog]] that was announced at the start of the quiz.
 
'''Tips:'''
 
* The channel will be silenced when VortexBot is talking and you won't be able to type anything when this happens. This reduces spam and allows everyone to see the silhouette before the answers start to flood in.
 
* While the initial question will display if a Pokémon has punctuation in the name, it is not necessary to use these in your answer, nor is it required to use capitalization of letters. For example, if the answer is ''[[Arceus (Electric)]]'' a correct answer would also be ''arceus electric'' or even ''arceuselectric'' which can significantly cut down some users typing time.
 
 
'''Note:''' ''Currently, the quiz runs every hour, on the hour but it is not guaranteed to remain on this schedule.''
 
===#discord-plays-vortex===
The discord-plays-vortex channel is Vortex's take on the "social experiment" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon Twitch Plays Pokémon] in which users would play the game using the chat and interact with a bot. discord-plays-vortex is the same in this respect but instead of playing a handheld Pokémon game, the chatroom users are playing Pokémon Vortex.
 
Not all game features are available within Discord, currently you can search a map, battle wild Pokémon, capture wild Pokémon and buy items. ''(See command list in VortexBot's wiki section to learn how to play)''
 
Everything done on Discord through this channel is simulated from the actual game website on the account ''flamescapebot''.
